SSOCIATION
RENTABLE AREA: GENERAL
Rentable area measures the Tenant's pro-rated portion of the entire office floor,
plusapportioned areas, excluding certain elements of the building that penetrate
through the floor.The Rentable Area of a floor is fixed for the life of the
Building and is not affected by changes incorridor sizes or configuration. Thus,
this method is adopted for the total income-producing areaof the Building and for
use in computing the Tenant's pro-rated share of the Building.
RENTABLE AREA: SINGLE TENANT FLOOR
The Gross Area of a single tenant floor shall be computed by measuring to the
exterior finish of permanent outer building walls. The Floor Net area is computed
by subtracting shafts andexterior glazing from the Floor Gross area. The Floor
Usable area is the Floor Net area less thefloor common areas in the building core.
The Floor Rentable area is computed by dividing theFloor Gross area by the Building
Gross area, multiplied by the Apportioned Total area, plus theFloor Net area. The
Apportioned Total area is the sum of the miscellaneous spaces throughoutthe
building that area pro rated for each floor. These spaces include all building
service spaces.The Attributable area for each floor is the Apportioned area plus
the common areas. TheAttributable factor on each floor is computed by dividing the
Rentable area by the Usable area.Rentable area shall include all areas within
outside walls, less stairs, elevator shafts, pipeshafts, vertical ducts, and their
enclosing walls. No deductions shall be made for columns or projections necessary
to the building.
RENTABLE AREA: MULTI-TENANT FLOOR
The Gross area of multi-tenant floor shall be computed by measuring to the exterior
finish of permanent outer building walls. The Floor Net area is computed by
subtracting shafts andexterior glazing from the Floor Gross area. The Floor Usable
area is the Floor Net area less thecommon areas in the building core, the
corridors, and the elevator lobby. The Tenant Usablearea is measured: to the inside
face of the exterior glazing, to the center of partitions thatseparate the premises
from adjoining office rentable areas, and to the corridor side of corridorsand/or
other permanent partitions. The Tenant Rentable area is computed by dividing
theTenant Usable area by Floor Usable area, multiplied by the Floor Rentable area.
TheAttributable area for each tenant is that tenant's pro rated portion of the
Apportioned area, thecommon area, the corridors, and the elevator lobby on that
tenant's floor. The Attributablefactor on each floor is computed by dividing the
Rentable area by Usable area. No deductionshall be made for columns or projections
necessary to the building. Any tenant entry thatextends beyond the standard 5'-0"
corridor configuration shall be considered a tenant area.
See core plans for corridor configurations.
